It’s hardly revolutionary to label martial arts or boxing as contact sports. Your face absolutely needs to be protected, as stressed by the Australian Dental Association (ADA). How do you manage this? With a mouthguard.
If you - or your child - attempts to fight without one, there are simply too many risks. Dental trauma can be lifelong, and even life threatening.
Act now to save your smile. It’s easier to do this with a mouthguard than with expensive treatment at a later date! Let smilogy give you the details to give you a fighting chance.
Do I Really Need A Mouthguard?
Whether you box, do MMA or any other kind of martial art, you’re extremely vulnerable to mouth and dental injuries.
No matter how experienced a fighter you are, you can avoid permanent damage to your smile with a mouthguard for martial arts or a mouthguard for boxing.
Boxing and martial arts have some of the highest rates of injuries. It’s never nice to think about, but you risk:
- Losing or chipping teeth
- Biting your tongue
- Slitting your lips
- Jaw damage
- Tissue damage
- So much more
Before entering the ring or facing up to your opponents, make sure you’ve opted for a mouthguard. You’ll save money on visits to see us after experiencing any trauma, plus you’ll keep your career intact as you won’t need time off.
Plus, simply knowing that you’re protected can give you the world of confidence. When you’re confident, you’re more likely to win.
Choosing A Mouthguard
You need a mouthguard for boxing or martial arts, but you’re not sure which to go for.
We may sound biased, but stock and “boil and bite” mouthguards are never your friend. They don’t sit well in your mouth, meaning that when it counts, you can’t rely on them to absorb the impact if you take a hit.
Custom mouthguards for martial arts and boxing are the way to go, like the ones offered at smilogy. After a quick and easy 3D scan, we take an accurate impression of your mouth and print a mouthguard that’s a perfect fit.
It goes over each and every tooth, making it heaps less bulky and almost impossible to come loose. Breathe, talk and fight, all while forgetting it’s there.
Why Custom Mouthguards for Boxing & Martial Arts Are Best
Arguably, there’s not many sports more risky than direct contact sports. You need maximum impact protection, because fighting is literally part of what you’re doing. A custom fit mouthguard absorbs shock evenly, so it does the job it was bought for.
Here are some other advantages of mouthguards for boxers and other fighters:
- They’re Australian Dental Association (ADA) approved
- You’ll be able to breathe, talk and drink water normally
- A custom fit means they don’t fall out or become dislodged
- They’re not a choking hazard because they stay in place
- Custom mouthguards are more comfortable
- You can wear them safely with braces
- They’re made from more durable materials
- Select your own colour scheme or designs as they’re customisable
- Add your name and phone number to prevent loss
